Create an account

Visit Self Developer Portal and follow the steps to register. You’ll need a Self Identifier account to proceed.

App creation

Self-apps are autonomous self identities able to interact with other identities on the Self-network.

A developer can create an app through the developer portal. This app will be identified by a SELF_APP_ID and a SELF_APP_DEVICE_SECRET.

SELF_APP_ID is your public identifier on the network and you can share it with other peers. You must keep SELF_APP_DEVICE_SECRET in a secure place.

You’ll see below how to use these two strings to initialize your client and start interacting with the Self-network.

Environments

Self provides a sandbox so you can try your app code before moving to production. You can register for a free developer account and create new test apps on the Sandbox developer portal here.

Once your app is ready you can create a new one on production here
